Incorrect fuel in your Citroen Saxo D? Petrol in your Diesel Citroen?

ABOUT

Filling Petrol in a Diesel Citroen is a very common error. And its solution is based on several factors. If you want to find out what you need to do to sort it out then keep reading.
Here are the most crucial factors to to consider when deciding whether or not to have it drained:

1. How much Petrol have you put in the Citroen, considering that the fuel capacity of your Citroen Saxo D is usually approximately 45 litres?
   1. A small quantity of Petrol, as little as 2.25 litres of Petrol in a Diesel Saxo D will quite often not necessarily be a huge problem. Experience has demonstrated to us that an amount under 2.25 litres (which is close to 5% of the total fuel tank) is frequently able to be adequately diluted through thoroughly topping the remainder of the tank with Diesel.
      It's highly uncommon to come across a car experiencing problems with less than 5% wrong fuel contamination. Be aware that it is very infrequently found - not impossible to encounter. There are actually some cars that won't stand any degree of contamination whatsoever.
   2. Between 2.25 and 4.5 litres of Petrol in the Citroen (5 to 10%) is a 50/50 condition. Our experience has shown us that as many drivers get away with it as those people who don't. When you are deciding on whether or not to chance it and simply fill it up recognise that it is the same as gambling it all on black - you have a 50/50 chance of it working out.
   3. Anything over 4.5 litres of Petrol in your Diesel Saxo D really should as soon as possible be removed since your probability of getting away with this amount of contamination is probably less than one in 50 - genuinely huge odds.
2. Put Petrol in a Diesel Citroen and drove it: Have you detected any performance difficulties after putting the incorrect fuel in the Saxo D? If so, get it removed regardless of the quantity of Petrol or even the contamination ratio. Continually running a motor vehicle that is already beginning to suffer from the consequences of fuel contamination can likely result in more damage being caused to your fuel system.
3. Do you want security?
   Then simply just get it removed. Whatever the contamination ratio, there is invariably a certain level of risk in connection with driving a Diesel vehicle on fuel contaminated with the wrong fuel. Probable final outcomes of driving on the incorrect fuel normally include the engine not starting, running lumpy, lack of power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn out or blocked injectors, etc. These are a few of the most typical Petrol in Diesel warning signs, and should you recognise any of them then stop and have it removed asap.
